I haven't read the book "The Happiest Baby on the Block" but somehow I still ended up raising one! Ally is a seriously happy baby these days. Every time she makes eye contact with us she scrunches up her face in a huge grin. She also laughs all.the.time. Most of the time we have no idea what she's laughing at, but we can't help but giggle along with her. And she thinks everything Sophia does is hysterical.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL29B3OopLk
She's babbling all the time now, and Will is proud that the phrase she says most often is "dada." She's not crawling yet, but she's getting closer by the day. We're constantly amazed how much trouble she can get into just by scooting, rolling, creeping and reaching. When she is sitting, she'll lean forward, push one leg behind her, and rock back and forth. It looks kinda painful to me, but doesn't seem to bother her at all.
She also likes to straddle our laps and rock back and forth. We can't help but laugh when she does this because it's impossible not to compare her to an amorous little dog! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ4ZLmggweM
She can now hold a bottle by herself which has made life so much easier. We still snuggle with her during most feedings, but when we're in a hurry and she's hungry, it's really nice to have her feed herself.
Although she's still toothless, we've started giving her finger foods with every meal. I'm not sure who is more excited about this: Ally or Trent! And Sophia loves to help shovel cheerios and other munchies into her sister's mouth.
Ally and Sophia get along wonderfully most of the time, but towards the end of the day when Sophia starts getting grumpy, Ally often ends up being the target for Sophia's frustrations. Ally's only method of defense right now is hair pulling, but she's really good at it!
It's so strange to see Ally wearing some of the same clothes that Sophia was wearing when she started walking. They're such different girls, although somehow they both ended up with the same big blue eyes.

I'm not sure what the odds are of 2 brown eyed parents having 2 blue eyed kiddos, but I do know that we're incredibly lucky.
